Vacation Roma Dce.
From the Bost0n Globe,

When the haZy, warm and lazy
Days of summer drive us crazy
To embrace a cooler cline.
Then the maiden so deceitful
Packs her Saratoga trunk full,
Clothes herself in smiles delightful
And proceeds to lose no time.
And the rhyme as they climb
or the car wheels harsh and frightful
Changes not her look sublime
Where the weary, worn but CHEEKY
Youth to 'scape the passage dreary
OF the city's binding neat
Seeks a coel retreat to Turk in,
There Is where she gets her work IN.
And the youth to drives and boating
Straight she lures with chances sweet
Far and sweet. and the beat
OF his heart is soon increasing
When by seeming chance they meet,
Thus this sweetest. falrest, neatest
OF all maidens the cOmpletest
Whites away the summer days,
Thereby pleasantly defraying
The expenses of her STAYING
Where the zephyrs cool are strayng
Ger the mountains winding ways,
Ardent gaze. winning ways,
And the victims purse ls weighing
Sadly less as pass the days.
".
And when leaving all this weaving
OF a web of vile deceiving
When arrives the parting day,
Then this maiden SAYS, demurely,
For your kindness am surely
Grateful, but I'll tell you truly
That you now must not essay
When away, far away.
You will please not be uurulv.
But forget me now, pray"
v. @
Then this sadly, very badly
Broken young man rushes madly
From the parting scene away,
At the railway station hiding,
Soon upon a truck frame riding,
Toward the city he 10 gliding.
Through the gathering twilight grav.
Swift away, from the fray,
And the Scuss' words, slipping. sliding,
Bluely round the car wheels play.
